Make the Most of Macaé
Hit the beach, visit an island, and hike to waterfalls
Although known as Brazil’s “National Petroleum Capital,” Macaé offers much more. From beautiful beaches and spectacular waterfalls to rich culture and thrilling nightlife, experience the best of this Rio de Janeiro city during your stay with us at Wyndham Macaé. Stroll the golden sands of Pecado Beach, popular for surfing and fishing, or book a boat trip to Ilha do Francês for diving and swimming in the crystal-clear waters—located eight kilometers off the coast of Macaé in the Santana Archipelago. Macaé’s main coastal road, Atlantic Avenue, is lined with local restaurants and near popular beach areas like Cavaleiros Beach and Imbetiba Beach. Take a guided tour from military personnel at the 18th-century Forte Marechal Hermes, admire panoramic views at the historic Saint Anne Church, and catch a spectacular sunset at Imboassica Lake—a favorite spot for kayaking, rowing, and bird-watching. You can also enjoy modern shopping and dining at Shopping Plaza Macaé or head just outside the city for awe-inspiring natural wonders like the Seven Falls Waterfall (Cachoeira das Sete Quedas), the Swallows’ Waterfall (Cachoeira das Andorinhas), and Jurubatiba Sandbank National Park.
